Tough. Pretty solid on both parts. Rabbi's is very very clean and taim but not to any weakness, it's very retro as it would seem he sought out to make it such. Matupeco's is just as solid, a bit disappointed to see him use the same template twice, however. As strong and flexible as the template is, it just looks like an exact replica of the Italy shirt you made last round, which was masterclass, one of the best I've ever seen here.
In the spirit of the competition, I'm going with Rabbi.
Cheers to matupeco, however, should have a great chance to get by this round.
I agree with Moom, in that Matupeco's Italy entry was phenomenal and one of the best in recent designfootball history. I also agree that using the same template, and the same delivery with the Uruguay kit was a misfire in this case. I very much understand that need to give your designs some uniformity and consistency though. In my opinion, I just do not see that greatness of the last kit transcend into this one. The template is original and cool, but that's it. In my opinion, the color is off and too dark. I can even say that the reverse side of the shirt would look better, without the words ofcourse. It just seems Matupeco that you played it safe and used the "if it ain't broke.." philosophy. I bow down to the greatness of your talent. It did not show in this round, unfortunately. Nevertheless, the kit is simple, nice and clean. I can see Puma riping off that template of yours any time now. Good job once again.
Rabbi's Greece kit is elegant and fit to the brand chosen. I like the use of the fading blue stripes. It is a nice touch. Some of the choices made in this design, though, make it a bit dated and to close the recent kit being used. The polo template, the blue collar and cuffs; all resemble Nike's kit. The piping on the shoulders is something you used for England's kit as well. Maybe something different could have been done this time around. Also, maybe leaving the cuffs and collar white or a lighter blue could have been a cool twist. Could have brought the kit into a modern present or future. I like the kit. Again, along with the rest of the designs, it is a safe bet. It falls short in riskiness and innovation as well, which may hinder the kit design in the long run. Good job again, Rabbi. I applaud your return to these competitions.
I vote for Matupeco. I will give you the vote solely due to the riskiness in using the same original and innovative template. Tough decision again. Great job guys.
[b]Rabbi[/b]. Both designers presented very clean designs, but I think that Rabbi's kit looks very "Greek". Also, like Moom stated, Matupeco's kit looks very similar to the one he used on his Italy kit (even though that kit was a masterpiece, I think that reusing the template on a competition is somewhat negative). But they both presented great kits, nonetheless.
